8 Guiding Principles for IoT/IT Architects
Make your life easier as an architect
Make sure that you own your data that forms your operational processes
Partners, customers, suppliers all need access to data and functionality
Make sure you have the flexibility to adopt to new tech, new regulations, new demands
Avoid vendor lock-in, avoid proprietary solutions, avoid home-cooked quick-n-dirty hacks
Enable and manage the sharing and re-use of data, since data is expensive, not cost free
Adopt a modular approach, avoid overlap in functionality, avoid non-API solutions
Combine overall security architecture and use-case based assessments.
Use ZeroTrust, on-premises, end-to-end encryption where appropriate
Sometimes the real world require vertical siloed solutions – know when to go against these principles
